If the DVD is copyright-protected, no digital signal is output unless converted to 48 kHz. • Select this position when connecting equipment without digital input. 2 Yes When playing a DVD recorded in 96 kHz linear PCM, signal is converted to 48 kHz /16 bit sampling frequency and can be output from digital output terminal even if the DVD is copyrightprotected. • It is recommended to select this position when connecting equipment with digital input.* 2 Dolby Digital To select the signal format output from this unit when playing a DVD encoded with Dolby Digital. 1 Bitstream Dolby Digital bitstream signal is output from this unit's digital output. • Select this position when connecting equipment incorporates Dolby Digital decoder. 2 PCM** Signals converted to 2ch linear PCM is output from this unit. • Select this position when connecting equipment which does not have Dolby Digital decoder. 3 DTS Digital Surround Select whether to output DTS digital signal or not. 1 Off** No digital signal is output even though the disc being played is encoded with DTS to prevent digital signal to be output. • Select this position when connecting equipment which does not have a DTS decoder. 2 Bitstream DTS bitstream is output when playing a disc encoded with DTS format. • Select this position when connecting equipment incorporates a DTS decoder.

If it is not acceptable for 96 kHz /24 bit digital audio signal, or the 96 kHz linear PCM disc you want to play is copyright-protected, it is recommended to set '1 No' and make analog connection to enjoy high quality sound. If it is set to '2 Yes', signal is converted to linear PCM 48 kHz before being output from analog output. ** When connecting equipment which does not have decoder for each format, be sure to select this position to prevent noise output as it could damage your ears and your speakers. *** Depending on disc's capability, MPEG audio bitstream may not be output properly.
